Ugh, my MIL told DH and I that she was going to give us money to help us out with debt. Okay, that was nice of her and I'm appreciative. However, she writes the check and puts it in DH's NAME ONLY!! WTF? That's a shitty thing to do, IMO. I mean what the fuck does she think I'll do with it? Run away and start a whole new life!
I'd need about 100x the amount she's giving 'us' or should I say DH.
Anyway, DH hasn't deposited yet, and I can't do it b/c my name isn't on the check so MIL e-mails DH about cashing it. What a shit stirrer. Am I overreacting?
Same thing right after we got married when MIL said she'd buy 'us' a house but put the house in DH's name only! So DH said, "No, Mom, I want Chris' name on there too, we'll do it ourselves." I mean WTF?! What a terrific way to start a fight between a married couple. Luckily it didn't because DH and I aren't like that. But really! You don't do shit like that. Either put it in both our names or none of our names!! Anything my parent's give 'us' has both our names on it, not just mine. UGH!!!!! I can understand her reasons but really, theoretically, if DH wanted to, he could then kick me out of the house and I would have nowhere to go. And what if we have children? It's technically not my house, so he can keep the children and throw me out because I have no claim to the house. (I mean he would NEVER do that but you see my point?)
